Fictional character biography

Frederick DeLamb is the son of a Markovian government official who acted as a puppet ruler by the Nazis during World War II and was killed by a mob.

Years later, Frederick, taking the name Baron Bedlam, kills Markovian king Viktor and seizes the throne. Prince Brion Markov works with Helga Jace to give himself superpowers and battle Bedlam.^[1] Bedlam is seemingly killed, but returns to face the Outsiders on multiple occasions.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Powers and abilities

Baron Bedlam is a skilled fighter and tactician, and possesses vast financial resources. He temporarily possessed earth-manipulating abilities similar to Geo-Force, but lost them due to not being Markovian royalty.^[5]

He hires Jaculi to murder Markovia's royal family, but is defeated and killed by Brion.^[7]^[8]^[9]
